A Picnic Area outside the Halliwell Jones : Tue Apr 19, 2011 12:19 pm  

With the sunny weather here at last wouldn't it be great if the club had a picnic area/fanzone near the ground where families and fans could relax before the game?

The only problem is lack of land but surely we could find some space for a fanzone with a marquee and picnic area with food outlets and activies for the kids.

At the moment the pre match build up consists of a few beers in the pub (okay for my Crew!) but for families and kids there is nothing.

Good idea, but as you mentioned there really doesn't seem to be a spot that springs to mind with adequate room. Something based on the kids area at the Jungle would be great but can't see the Club being able to do anything, especially something which could snatch any business from Tesco.

Maybe your crew (possibly the Nazis, judging by your Avatar) could annex the trolley awning outside Tesco, "vor ze gud of ze verking klass ov ze Wazza"

Bank Park.

Then you could walk up/down (whatever) Froghall Lane straight to the game in minutes. Get poop going on there, food, kids tag games, blah blah ... Let parents & kids rock up at say midday, two hours there - off to the game.

Fascinating stuff.

Part of me wants an end to this nonsense - part of me can't wait to see what is coming next. What still baffles me after all these years of these forums, why do people get a kick out of creating internet characters and posting stuff just to get a reaction? Nowt as queer as folk, as they say.

I'm the same. Difference is that you have The Power. I'd have banned him by now, probably harshly.

The classic definition of a paradox?

Get used to him, Wendall has been banned from TRL.

Not been on here much recently, probably luckily for my sanity - and the OP's continued posting ability. I had a quick look at the Myler and the Tory threads and that nearly got him banned. But I can't just ban people for being thick / deliberately annoying / bit of both.

That explains how Odemwingie has survived all these years.
